Re: Would you morally condemn someone for...

With routinely abusive parents, it's still self defense even if they're not hurting you at the present moment. Because they're going to the next day, or the next time they get angry or drunk. It's all a matter of when.

Also what if they were hurting, or even worse, raping your younger sibling? Would you really be "worse than your parents" if you killed them to spare your younger sibling the abuse?

Nice black and white morality.

da

I think the Menendez brothers used that defense. For some reason, it didn't work.

nayrt, but you seem to be putting this question as if it must have an EITHER OR answer. E.g., 'EITHER you kill your parents OR you continue to suffer abuse/let it happen to someone else.' That's the sucker's choice - those aren't the only two options available.

Why wouldn't you alert the authorities before resorting to killing someone? Take it to the police, the media, child welfare, extended family?

If you want to paint the either/or scenario, then at least be specific about it when asking the question in the first place. Otherwise, my answer is obviously going to consider that there are more options than just killing or continuing to suffer.

No, it is only self defense if you are protecting yourself (or others) from immediate violence. That's it. If there's no immediate violence, you call the police and you get out of there. Getting out of there is the answer, not killing. Defending yourself or someone else with violence is a LAST RESORT.

It is pretty black and white, yes.

(Defending your siblings from being raped is still self defense. and I don't know why you're going to immediately killing. defense can be done without killing. The priority would be to get your parent off your sibling and for you and the siblings to get the fuck out of the house and call the police)

Well the statement that killing the abuser would make them "worse" than the abuser is laughably stupid and shows how narrow minded you are.

Really?

A person who mistreats a child in their care 90% to be worse than the victim even if the victim killed them. An adult who mistreats or abuses a child they're trusted to protect is pretty high on the evil scale.

Planned killing is the ultimate crime, so yeah. I do think so.

You're the weird one who is trying to justify murdering someone, so I'm not sure if you have the moral high horse here.
